Description:

May 31st, 2007. Scarborough Country discussion with Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Bat Buchanan and Michael Reagan about the rising death toll of US soldiers in Iraq. Reagan says "If I was there with the president of the United States, know what I'd tell him? I'd tell him shut off the press, let the military go do what it does best, kill people and break things. ... Give them some positive news about what these soldiers are doing that are fighting. Yes, they are dying, but they are doing such a fabulous job ..." Katrina Vanden Heuvel tries to add some sanity to the conversation and gets talked over quite for much of the clip.

What truth?, that 3,500 soldiers have died for nothing? You don't need to listen to her, listen to Pat.

I think we all want to leave but what are the long term consequences? Unfortunately, times have changed where you got terrorism with no enemy face. Solving this problem will have to be a POLITICAL solution, not a military one. Even if we withdraw, we still have keep a SURVEILLENCE on Iraq.

What to do: Invade Iran, they are the head of the snake anyway. Split Iraq and Iran into: A autonomous Kurdish state, a Shi'ite state renamed perhaps Persia, and unite the rest of Iraqi and Iranian Sunnis and other religions with Kuwait, or a new nation should Kuwait refuse perhaps renamed Mesopotamia to signal rebirth. It would be a restructuring along religious lines and would solve a lot of problems, the political lines are bogus historically anyway.

4,000,000 died in Vietnam when we were there. Also, we aren't protecting Taiwan, we don't even officially recognize Taiwan's independence!

More people on the ground Iraq who support us? Over 80% of Iraqis support withdrawal and think that the US presence is making things worse! Who gave this Reagan guy a voice? Is he brain damaged or a liar?

Where is this imaginary point that we're hoping to reach where us leaving isn't going to bring about a bloodbath? Answer: There isn't one! The choice is either stay forever or leave now. IMO Staying forever = End of the US Empire
